Jesus said to fear God, not men. I do. God the Father is very very frightening, but at the same time thrilling because of His love. So I hold Him in awe. God is over all time forever. That is awesome. God sees beyond even the time He has foretold. Not good to be in His bad books forever. Best to fear God now and serve Him reverentially. Think of a big mafia top boss and how horrifying it would be to offend him. I think God the Father is much more scary still because even after our deaths His wrath can continue. Even the most powerful mafia boss cannot hunt you down forever. You die and he dies so the horror of offending him is limited. I say mafia, because they do not try to hide or curtail their wrath as bosses, but carry it out in action. God does not try to pretend to not be offended when we offend Him. Only love and mercy and intercessory mediation hold back that wrath. God is unlimited in how long He can maintain that wrath. Very very scary. But so loving that taking refuge in Him is bliss nonetheless. I choose nobody to worship in a greater priority.
